Rock and Roll! 6/26/2018

We arrived at our campground site yesterday at about 6 pm. With a pull through site, we were able to keep the car connected to the RV overnight and save ourselves the effort of disconnecting and then reconnecting the tow apparatus in the morning. So when we arrived, we turned the car ignition from ACC (where it sits while towing), to off, removed the keys and locked it. What an unpleasant surprise in the morning, then, when we went to turn the brake controller back on, and discovered that the
car battery was dead. We had turned the car off, but not disconnected the controller which was left plugged in to the 12 volt outlet. Oh well, live and learn. We'll add that to our check list of things to do while both setting up and breaking down to move.

Today's stop is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. We were able to park the RV and car in a large lot a short walking distance away. I did think that the $30 fee to park was on the steep side , though.

The museum itself has 7 floors of films, exhibits and artifacts of all sorts from the early days of blues to the present day.  There were in-depth exhibits on Elvis, the Beatles and Rolling Stones, and a fantastic film of Dick Clark Bandstand highlights. The Beatles exhibit  was particularly well done, offering a lot of behind-the-scenes info and interviews. We got a kick out of some film footage of the Stones performing, and all but Jagger had cigarettes hanging from  their mouths. There is so much to see and hear, it's not possible to experience it all in a day.

Since we had no idea when we would be leaving, we did not have a reservation for this evening. When we finally got back to the RV, we called a campground located about an hour away in Milan, OH, which is where we are staying this evening.
